Whistling Ducks
Hello Shutterbugs,
Spotted this group of Whistlers nervously focusing on an Alligator creeping along the ponds edge.

Looks like you went crazy with the clone tool, Paul. Nice shot of the whistling ducks.

Nice shots, Kevin...both of them. That sure is an interesting looking bird. The lack of feathers on it's birds head makes me think of our turkey vultures.

Thanks Mike. Pretty ugly bird...............I call 'em the mother in law bird

If that's a Raven, I wanted one of these for a long while - the bird, not a photo! Still, I'd settle for just a photo now, I think, especially one as good as yours.

Raven's are in my top 5 I thinks... Super smart bird. That one definitely is a Raven.

This is not a Raven lol.... just sayin
